Wall question

Recommended Posts

If 8 men working 9 hours a day can build a wall 18 meters long, 2 meters wide and 12 meters high in 10 days, how many men will be required to build a wall 32 meters long, 3 meters wide and 9 meters high by working 6 hours a day in 8 days?

Are they men being the best they can?

I gave myself 2 minutes to think on this. I'm guessing 30.

 

It took 720 hours to make the first wall. The second wall would take 1440 hours under that scenario.

 

8*6*x=1440

 

If it's wrong, oh well, been a while. :dunno:
